1.8 T gti mk4 what to look out for


Recommended Posts

hey guys, how you all doing?

after selling the vr6 and clearing a load of debts funds permit me to try something new, dont get me wrong, a mk3 vr6 is the ultimate car but to be honest i couldnt stand the niggly lil problems on a car i spent soo much money on just wernt feasible.

i am going to view a mk4 1.8T tomorrow and would like to know if there is anything in paticular i should look out for?

any ideas?

cheers

well, its good and bad.....its can be tuned mega easily and cheaply, a susp kit should sort the handling....but it sounds awful, isn't that smooth, and when tuned will drink fuel (and thats comparing with a vr6).

don't forget you can get a vr6 (the 24v) in a mkIV bodyshape as well.

pick the engine that suits you best i'd say.

mk3 annin summed it up perfectly! :-) they can be tuned though but standard they are soooo boring. a 4 pot can still sound interesting but that lump just has no character. Why not try and get an aniversary? as it came with 180/190 BHP? And possibly the same forged pistons etc used in the cupra r? Thats just a complete guess though!!!! lol
